The girls got haircuts, and Jack got a special surprise.

The girls and I really needed haircuts, so I called up my friend Jordan who cuts hair and lives in a nearby city.  I asked if she could take care of all of us in one afternoon.  She agreed, and it was great to be able to get our hair done in the same block of time, and in a place where my kids were able to play.


I went first, then we de-mulletted Eliza.
I knew we were doing her a favor, but she wasn't too sure.
This was her first haircut, after all! 


Eventually she calmed down.   I think she liked the blow dryer.


She still has a pretty good scowl, though.

Not exactly a smile, but much better than the weeping and wailing 10 minutes earlier. 


Cat, on the other hand was eating it up. 


She really liked getting her hair washed! 


What a pretty 'do! 


Jordan's husband, a highway patrolman, was home, and so was his patrol car!  So Jack was rewarded for happily watching movies during all of the haircuts with a close encounter with a real life police car.  First, Kammon turned on the siren while we waited in the house with the door closed, so the kids weren't blasted away.  Then he turned on the lights for them to see.


Then we slowly approached.... 


and each child took a turn sitting behind the wheel. I don't have a good picture of Jack, but he pretty much thought it was the awesomest thing ever.


Cat thought it was pretty cool too. 


(Eliza wasn't as excited as the other two, so Kammon rescued her pretty quickly.)

What a great way to spend our afternoon - coming home with better hair and patrol car bragging rights!

  1. How delightful! Cat's hair is getting so long and pretty. Glad Eliza survived:) Jack must have been in patrol car heaven. And Mom's hair is beautiful as well!
